Mobile laughter

 You may think that you recognize this frog from a previous painting, but this is actually a new one.  This is "Upwardly Mobile" and he is so new that he is still wet.  I painted his brother (who now resides in his purchaser's home) horizontally, but got so many comments about him being vertical that I painted a new one.  "Upwardly Mobile" is all about climbing.  He is 36 " high and 12 " wide.

I also just finished "Fat Albert".  Albert is 24x24 and is also still drying.  I  just love his big, fat leaves and the way he seems to be falling out of the canvas, full of warmth and laughter. 

These photographs were taken by Bob Cook of Wimberley.  Bob offers a photo service and for those of you out there who are artists, I can highly recommend him.  You can find him at http://www.bobcookart.com/

I am on the recovery from some little virus that seems to be making it's way around our area.  I'm up and about in time for our studio tour on Saturday.  If you are in Dripping Springs, please stop by and visit my studio, Dragonfly Studio.
